Oh my gosh, sleep did not come easy this night! The pizza DiL did for dinner tasted very good, alas, she drowned the onions in so much olive oil, when she precooked them, that my digestive system was a bit upset. To be honest, it was quite upset about the amount of fat it had to cope with, and I lay awake until two in the morning, even after I took artichoke pills and antiacid...
Hubby had anticipated a lot of problems with switching my phone to the new provider- me not having access to mobile service, until the deed was done, no instruction about the mobile ready for use (I had searched for the instruction the day before), no clue how to change pin and the like (well hello, I can operate the net quite well)... The only problem was that I had saved all phone numbers on the old sim card, but importing them to the new one was no big deal after reading another online instruction. My phone was ready for use after twenty minutes, hubby´s PC is definitely out still. Me:1, husband:0.
Daughter came for lunch and brought the parking license hubby will need tomorrow, when he does a visit to the airport with Cassian- and Flavius, too! I wish hubby luck, because I definitely won´t join them. I am still mad at myself and try to get on with the throw of doom. If it wasn´t so pretty (when finished) I´d long had given up on this one! My fingers as well as the skin on my palms need recovery- will only happen, after the throw is finally ready!
We had one hour of sunshine around midday, and I thought- that´s it, we will get over zero! Turned out that the warming process stopped then, fog came back, and we were back to negative degrees from then on. Not as cold as the days before, but still! Funny that the poinsettia loves this weather- she´s at the kitchen window, which is near the radiator. Hubby is prohibited to open this window. Poinsettia was at the point of dying, when number three brought it at Christmas- he had gotten it by a nice shopgirl, who thought that giving the plants to customers- at the outside parking lot- was a good idea. Only that poinsettias are prone to dying when out in the cold and the draught. Plant looked very sick, when I got it. It seems to have undergone an unexpected recovery by then. Not that I won´t keep it until next year. Or maybe I will- I love poinsettias like the ones in Mexico- those huge bushes look very impressive! The one I had once was almost a meter tall. And its bracts turned red around Christmas time- must be because it had been in a dark room in a dark house at the right time!
